Rebirth of King Zhou

Chapter 88 Mysterious Soil and Underground Palace

Su Hu's five hundred cavalry entered a mountain range called "Wangfeng Ridge" that stretched for tens of miles, and chose a relatively secluded open space to camp.

The next day, Su Hu didn't even leave.

Every day, he sent iron cavalry to and fro in the mountains and forests, as if he was looking for something important.

Zi Xing found out that something was wrong, and the "lesson" was over for the day, so he looked for an opportunity to ask Su Hu what he meant by this move?

Su Hu was very blunt and talked a lot of nonsense before finally asking him to ask Zhu Ye'er.

Zi Xing had no choice but to ask the little girl again.The answer Zhu Ye'er gave was: "I told the Marquis of Jizhou that I learned a secret from the master's gate: In the 'Wangfengling Mountains', there are ancient demon palace ruins buried. In fact..."

"Actually, you lied to him? The ruins of the ancient underground temple are fictitious and don't exist?" Zi Xing pretended to be clever.

"There should be a 20% possibility of the existence of the ancient temple. Because, my master went to that ancient temple to explore in person [-] years ago. There is still a road he dug out in the 'Wangfengling Mountain Range'. The cave passage. It’s just that the Wangfengling mountain range is so long, even if I have the map that Master gave me, it will take time to find the entrance of the ancient temple.”

"Why didn't your master go out in person?" Zi Xing asked curiously.

"Master, she fought against a powerful enemy in the ancient temple 20 years ago, and both sides were injured. The master respected the injury and fled, and blocked the way out before leaving. The strong enemy suffered no less injuries than the family teacher at that time, and he probably died long ago. Inside the ancient temple... My master took me in as an apprentice shortly after returning to Shadow Valley. But her injuries never healed... I left Shadow Valley this time to go out for training, and my master told me that I had the opportunity to go to watch the wind Mountains... what a coincidence, on our way to Chaoge, we will pass by and see mountains..."

Zi Xing confirmed from Zhu Ye'er that there was such an ancient temple, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked like he was "obsessed with money".

Of course Zhu Ye'er saw his undisguised greed, and said with a smile: "However, I don't care about the many treasures collected in that ancient temple. I made an agreement with Su Hu that if I find the ancient temple and dig out the treasures, all of them will be handed over to He disposes of it. I don't want any..."

"Aren't you at a disadvantage?" Zi Xing asked.Heart said: Actually, I also suffer.Why not for me?

However, he guessed that Zhu Ye'er was not the kind of person who was willing to "make a wedding dress" for others.There will definitely be follow-ups!

"Hee hee, if I can really find that ancient temple in the Wangfengling mountain range, I only need to bury it in a foot-thick soil around the ancient temple." Zhu Ye'er revealed some information to Zi Xing again.

After hearing this, Zi Xing felt that this time was really strange.

Even if it is fairy soil, it is not as valuable as the treasures collected in the ancient temple.

Think about the soil in your "game space", which is as good as "fairy soil", but if you get it out, it can fill the East China Sea and turn it into land.

Thinking of this, Zi Xing's heart suddenly aroused the pride of a nouveau riche; the look he looked at Zhu Ye'er also added a bit of "arrogance".

"What's the use of that soil? Can it speed up the growth of precious 'medicinal' materials?" Zi Xing remembered a fairy tale novel she read in her previous life.

"Those soils can attract a rare thing for me." Zhu Ye'er said, "That kind of thing is what I want you to subdue."

"What is it?" Zi Xing asked urgently.After the words were out of the mouth, he said a little discouraged: "Is it because the time has not come, so you can't tell me."

"No, the time is ripe now, and it's time to tell you." Zhu Ye'er said with a smile, 'groan', 'groan'.

"Then hurry up. What's the point?" Zi Xing gave her a blank look.

"Those soils can attract the legendary 'Jiuxiao Shenlei' made by Taoist Zhunti himself." Zhu Ye'er said with a serious expression, every word.

Zi Xing had heard of the Nine Nights Divine Thunder.However, he didn't hear about it in Romance, he heard it from "Princess Longji" by accident after he came to this world.

It turned out that the reason why Zhunti Taoist is so famous in the heavens is entirely because he created a peerless weapon "Jiuxiao Shenlei".

If a cultivator really wants to ascend to immortality, all the "Thunder Tribulation" thunders that must be experienced and overcome are all the thunderbolts falling from the "Jiuxiao Shenlei".

Just imagine, a few "thunder scraps" can reduce the chance of "becoming a fairy" to only [-]%.How can a cultivator who knows the inside story not hate "Zhun Ti" in his heart?And the respect that everyone showed towards Zhunti was because of fear.

The "Lei Xiao" falling from the surface of the "Nine Nights God Thunder" can kill the hopes of countless masters of cultivation to become immortals!Zhu Ye'er wanted him to tame the "Nine Nights Divine Thunder" for his own use, his appetite was too great.

Moreover, hearing Zhu Ye'er say that those "soils" can attract "Jiuxiao Shenlei", Zi Xing also finds it difficult to understand?

Zhu Ye'er further explained: the ancient temple that is likely to be buried in the "Wangfengling Mountain Range" is actually a magic weapon with amazing power in the prehistoric period.But it belongs to the peak powerhouse of the magic cultivator.

Somehow, that prehistoric magic weapon provoked the "Jiuxiao Shenlei".Shenlei actually came to destroy it himself.

As a result, the ancient temple was destroyed and left somewhere in the world. "Jiuxiao Shenlei" was also seriously injured and escaped.

The "Purple Lightning" surrounding the surface of the "Jiuxiao Shenlei" was also knocked down by the magic light released by the ancient temple, turning into soil and burying the ancient temple.

"Jiuxiao Shenlei" did not really abandon those "Purple Lightning".

Zidian turns into soil and "stays" in the human world, which can better absorb the vitality of the world and speed up recovery. "Jiuxiao Shenlei" may plan to wait until "Purple Electricity" recovers, and then come to retrieve it.

Zhu Ye'er hoped that Zixing would get the "Jiuxiao Shenlei".First of all, the mysterious "Jiuxiao Shenlei" must appear.

Her method is direct and effective: remove the "soil" that buried the ancient temple, and nine times out of ten it will alarm the appearance of Shenlei.Then, the "catch mine" plan can be implemented...

Zi Xing was dumbfounded.

It took a long time to hold back a sentence: "It turns out that the ancient underground palace is a damaged magic weapon. What good things can be contained in the magic weapon? Then there must be no valuables in the palace. You coax Su Hu that the things in the palace will be disposed of by him. , really cunning."

"There should be some treasures in that palace. For tens of thousands of years, there are not a few strong people in the cultivation world who strayed into the ancient palace; sometimes, when encountering multiple forces gathered in the ancient palace, they fought to collect the incomplete magic weapon. fall; then, the treasures carried on the corpse were not left in the ancient temple?"

"It also makes sense. But are you sure that after the 'Zidian' turns into soil, it has no lethality?"

"Of course. Will I harm you?" Zhu Ye'er said sternly: "I'm helping you wholeheartedly. You know, after returning to Chaoge, your opponent is so strong that you have no ability to fight back... ..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ye'er emphasized her tone: "Nuwa may not be afraid of the power of the 'Shenxiao Shenlei', but she has to worry about the creator of the 'Shenxiao Shenlei', 'Zhunti Daoist'. You, with a fragile mortal body, , Mastered the 'Jiuxiao Shenlei', Nuwa will definitely guess your relationship with 'Zhunti'. At that time, you can trick her, claiming to be Zhunti's disciple, or simply say that you are the illegitimate child of 'Zhunti'... So, only if you attract the divine thunder and subdue it, Nuwa saints will not dare to touch you. Haha, what a clever plan I have."

Zi Xing was unhappy, and muttered, "You seem to be overly optimistic. You forgot the most crucial question: it really attracted the 'Nine Nights God Thunder', and I'm not sure how to subdue it."

"Don't be discouraged. I let you soak in the black medicine for several days, just to make you a special physique close to the 'Jiuxiao Shenlei'. Don't worry, you use the method I provide to subdue Shenlei, even if it doesn't succeed, at least it won't hurt you! Such a good thing with no danger at all, don't you have the guts to give it a go?"

Speaking of this step, what else can Zi Xing do?Of course, he obeyed Zhu Ye'er's arrangement.

However, he was still flustered and couldn't believe Zhu Ye'er's guarantee.

Things are as simple as she said?Lie to the children!

The woods are always wet in the early morning, and the leaves, grass, and rocks are all covered with "dew" drops. The night insects that have been singing all day finally stop and suck the "dew" drops.

Suddenly, there was a light sound, which startled the grasshoppers, mole crickets, crickets and other insects in the grass to fly around.

The sound became closer and louder, and finally turned into a sharp sound of "ta-da" iron hooves hitting the ground; there was also the sound of stirred-up stones and mud hitting the side of the road. "Papa" sound.

The mountains are far from human habitation.The roads are all wild mountain trails that have been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and no one may pass by them for a few months.

The road is winding, and you have to climb over mountains and ridges constantly. It is quite dangerous for a large convoy of transport vehicles to walk here.

However, the hundreds of iron cavalry that appeared at this moment were lightly dressed and well-trained, so there was no such worry at all.

Entering the "Wangfengling Mountains" for treasure hunting, it was already the seventh day.

Suddenly, Zhu Ye'er, who was walking at the front of the team, briskly got into the dense forest nearby, jumped onto a huge boulder, took out a map from his arms, and spread it out on the stone surface.

While watching, he frowned and thought.

The map was drawn by Zhu Ye'er's master from memory, with more than a dozen places marked with cinnabar.Those dozen or so places are the possible locations of the tunnel passage leading to the underground "ancient temple".

When Zhu Ye'er found a possible location, Su Hu's subordinates were responsible for verifying whether there was a "channel" leading to the underground ancient temple.

It is summer now, and it is the season with the most abundant rain.

Reeds grow by the river.The people and horses walked slowly close to the reeds.

After traveling more than [-] kilometers, a fork appeared in the river. Once entering the fork, it seemed much more hidden.

The terrain here is made of limestone, which has also become weird and precipitous after a long period of erosion, and the vegetation area is as high as [-]%.

The horses were all tied up outside the jungle.

The sun rises and sets again, and the sky is getting darker.

At first the road was easy to walk, but as time went on, the road became more and more difficult.

Fortunately, Su Hu's subordinates are all one in a million, with unparalleled climbing and jumping abilities.

It's more like a military training in the valley now.

After driving all night, there is no open place in the narrow valley to pitch a tent.

It was not until dawn that the procession finally stopped again.

But this time, there was no discovery, but a place marked with red sand on the map.

Zhu Ye'er commanded several soldiers to forcefully pry open a boulder covered with vines that served as a "bunker".

An iron door covered with rust powder appeared in front of everyone.

There is such a secret place in the Wangfeng Mountains, and the hunters who go hunting in the mountains will definitely feel very surprised when they see it.

Most of the soldiers were left on guard outside.Su Hu only selected ten people to follow him into the cave for inspection.

Zi Xing and Zhu Ye'er then entered the secret cave.

Zhu Ye'er shook a handle next to her to restore the camouflage outside, and then closed the door smoothly.

Once the door was closed, there was no darkness inside.Because the experienced soldiers had already lit the torches.

After a soft sound, Zhu Ye'er took out the sketch again, and looked at it by the firelight.

After a while, her voice echoed in the cave: "Everyone follow me. Just remember, don't rush to the end of this passage."

As she spoke, she led the way first.

This cave is very long, with sections like a sausage; each section is [-] to [-] meters long, and there are gates separating each section.

Those iron-cast door frames obviously also play a supporting role, just like pillars.

Zi Xing heard from Zhu Ye'er that twenty years had passed since her master escaped through this passage.

If no uninvited guests entered, the cave should still retain its abandoned appearance.

The more you go inside, the more messy the traces on the ground look.

Some fragments of broken weapons, tables and chairs with missing arms and legs... There is a mess everywhere.

It was obvious that this place had been lived in before.But now, there was no one to be found, only the sound of heavy footsteps in the long passage, and the crash of iron doors being opened.

No one came, which is good news for Zhu Ye'er.But she still didn't dare to relax her vigilance, and she could only breathe a sigh of relief when she entered the "Ancient Palace" without encountering any danger.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhu Ye'er suddenly walked towards a door next to her.

The door was thick and five-locked.

Zhu Ye'er 'inserted' five keys in total before opening it.The work and materials of the lock are excellent, and there is no "stuck" phenomenon.

Behind the door is a not-so-large room. On one side of the wall are 16 yuan bronze mirrors inlaid with spirit stones, and these mirrors are neatly arranged.

I saw Zhu Ye'er walking forward, raised his hand on the raised spirit stone, and pressed "Papa Papa" violently.

Suddenly, the originally dark room suddenly became brighter, not only this room was lit up, but also the passage outside was lit up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a low humming sound from somewhere, and Zi Xing immediately felt the stagnant air begin to flow.

Zhu Ye'er was still knocking on the bronze mirrors and the spirit stones inlaid on the walls.

The bronze mirrors became brighter one after the other, and each side reflected the situation in a certain direction of the passage outside.

These bronze mirrors are actually used to monitor the outside.

Zhu Ye'er didn't stop until images appeared in every mirror.

"Master Su, please choose two careful people to guard here. For the others, check everything carefully and pack up valuable things. Then, let's go to the underground palace at the end of the passage..."

Everyone started their own work.

Zi Xing followed behind Zhu Ye'er.Seeing everyone dispersed, Zhu Ye'er told him softly: "After we leave this time, this passage can no longer be left..."

Zi Xing was startled and asked, "Why did you destroy this place afterwards?"

"It's not that I have to destroy it. It's just that once we forcibly take away the soil transformed by the 'Purple Electricity', according to the analysis of my teacher: it is very likely to cause the collapse of this section of the mountain range, and this passage will be completely buried. "Zhu Ye'er replied.

While talking, she looked left and right, as if she was looking for something: "My teacher was seriously injured back then, and I was worried that he would be left here by a powerful enemy who was also seriously injured. Otherwise, she would have taken the 'Purple Electric Soil' back then. Let's go, the 'Jiuxiao Shenlei' has probably tracked down the 'Shadow Valley' long ago."

Suddenly, Zi Xing's eyes were fixed on a door.

The door was heavy, all cast iron, and had a big winch on it.

Zi Xing walked over, holding the winch with both hands and turning it vigorously.

The winch has not been used for a long time, and it is very laborious to turn it.Fortunately, Zixing is extremely powerful.

When the winch turned, there was a harsh "creaking" metal friction sound, and then there was a soft "clang".

As soon as the door was opened, a rancid smell came oncoming.

Affected by this rancid smell, Zi Xing was disgusted, and he quickly fled a few steps away.

To Zi Xing's surprise, Zhu Ye'er pushed open the door and walked in without realizing it.

Obviously, as a successful killer, Zhu Ye'er's "breath-holding" skill is quite good.

After hesitating for a moment, Zi Xing held his breath, and followed in.

As soon as he entered, his complexion changed drastically.

I saw rows of sarcophagi parked in Kuolang's room.

Each sarcophagus is filled with a light brown "medicine" liquid, and the "medicine" liquid soaked is not a human being, but a "black ant" the size of a thumb.

It doesn't have to be a "black ant", it could be a creature that looks like a black ant.

Some of these "black ants" showed a high degree of decay, and some were still clumsily moving.The living ones are unceremoniously gnawing at the corpses of their dead counterparts.

Zi Xing felt his stomach churning constantly, and he wanted to vomit.

The scene was not the bloodiest scene he had ever seen; but that smell was the strongest stench he had ever smelled in his two lifetimes.

Turning her head and rushing out of the room, Zi Xing still felt very uncomfortable after running more than ten meters away.

He lowered his head and sniffed himself like a puppy.Perhaps it was a psychological effect, he felt that the stench of those decaying things had already been stained on his body.

Looking at the cold door from a distance, Zi Xing didn't have the courage to go in again.

Many questions flooded into his mind at the moment, perhaps only Zhu Ye'er could answer these questions.

After waiting for a long time, he saw Zhu Yeer come out from inside.

Zhu Ye'er closed the iron door with her own hands, and turned the winch to lock the door again.

"Your master, when you created such a passage leading to the ancient temple, why did you have the leisure to raise hundreds of black ants in the sarcophagus? What's the use?" Zi Xing asked with a strange expression.

Zhu Ye'er was silent for a moment, as if hesitating, should he tell him the truth.

In the end, she still dragged Zi Xing forward to a corner far away from everyone.
